Week 41 2022

 Hello!

One of the most beautiful events of the autumn is cancelled this weekend.

I have been lucky to take a flight in a balloon, and it's magical.  There have been lots in the skies this summer, I love watching them sail lazily overhead... but sadly not this weekend.

Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great time.

Best wishes,

Helen

People often ask about the bubble glaze on my ceramics.  Here's a sneak peak into the kiln with the before and after glaze firing.

Week 41 2021

Hello!

Halloween is just around the corner, and I love a theme in the pottery workshop.  This Saturday, I'm collaborating with Amelie (I love a collaboration too!) and we are having a Halloween day.  

Amelie makes beautiful creations from calabashes, or gourdes, she makes lamps and lidded boxes and even mini chests of drawers, this weekend, you can carve a Halloween pumpkin face onto a calabash to make your own Jack'o'lantern.  Learn how she makes her lamps and make one for yourself.

Meanwhile, in my studio we'll be making Day of the Dead key-rings from the clay.  The white earthenware clay that I love to work with makes a great background for the colourful skull decorations.

Contact me - 06 30 89 85 36 - if you'd like to take part in one or both of these Saturday workshops.

Whatever you do this weekend in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great time.

Best wishes,

Helen
